lames K Waite and a supporting I
companv presented "Uncle Terry at
the Auditorium Tueslsy evenu g be
fore a fair-sized HUdience hich
. A .o,v stll tileaspd with the per-
frmnce. L nole Terry is the title j
character of a book written by Charles
C taunn of SprirgheM, Mass. and th?
play was dramatized from thu book r
William Gill. Those of the audience
who had read tbe book must nave
realized that the pHy "as as good as
could be expected from the material
out of which it was built, and those
who had cot probably had their sus
piciors as to what sort of book it
was eonsiderng the play aade from it.
Mr Waite as "Uncle Terry" was al
most tbe whole show. In fact bis part
was the only one wbich contained any
bright line's. The other character
were fairly well drawn with ths excep
tion those of John Nasnn, Mrs Nason
and Mrs Bascom which were delin
eated in a manner far too wooden to
be lifelike.
